This is a primary. How can “D’s“ or “R’s” lose?

It’s armchair quarterbacking that the primaries are supposed to be indicative of the general election turnout.

The early voting had a lot more D's coming in than normal and the main-stream commies, I mean media, were hoping that portends a big swing to the left. Turns out that all it means is that the commies in Texas who hate Trump, really, really hate him and couldn't wait to vote and that it didn't mean that a bunch of normals were going to change to voting Democrat.

You judge primaries on two things, the vote the winning candidate gets and then add the total vote of all those in his/her party who ran against her or him in the Primary.

When you total out the numbers for the GOP, they are absolutely stunning, 300,000-500.000 vote leads against their Democrat opponents when all the final tallies be come in. Blowout from A-Z!!! Trumpie rules “RED” Texas. MAGA!!!

There was supposed to be a HUGE increase in voter turnout on the Democrat side because, because Trump.

There wasn't.

Cruz should sleep well tonight. Considering that the Republicans hold most offices in the state, and most of the primary contests weren't seriously contested, this is a big ____ deal (as Joe Biden would say).

For one thing, many elections have to go run off in the Democratic field including the Governor’s race...that is not helpful to them at all....having 2 people yell at each other while Abbot enjoys his campaign ahead of which ever one wins. The election going on with Pete Sessions will be a run off as well. Republicans in Texas actually did pretty decently tonight. Of course, November is the real test.

I think that in Texas, if you vote one in one party’s primary, you HAVE to vote that party in the general election. No crossover chaos allowed.

At least that’s what I was told this morning when I asked the same question.

Turnout is everything in a midterm - and if more of us turned out to vote in the primary - we’ll do the same for the election.

If the FBI wasn’t so corrupt they would put a few fake ‘voters’ in every precinct and see if those fake people ‘vote’. Then swoope in and arrest the people who are REALLY stealing our elections.

Too bad the FBI works for liberal elites swamp rats.
